Once upon a time there was a king. This king was quite content because he had all of his men surrounding him, fully protecting him. And then suddenly, they all started moving away from him! Even more worryingly, the opposing kingdom that they were currently battling was sending its men
towards him. The king did not like this one bit. He said, "Oh no! All my people are leaving me. I'm over here! Your king is over here!" The king called out to his men, but a soldier wearing the colors of the other kingdom took a step closer to him and the king coughed. "King? Who said anything about a king?" He whistled, quite innocently. But the king was a coward, and he thought, "I must do something to protect myself!" So he traded places with a castle. Afterward, he reflected that this was a rather strange thing to do. "Since when do castles move?" he pondered to himself, but he spent little time worrying over it, distracting himself instead with the inefficiencies of the fighting. His foot soldiers were behaving rather oddly. Some had enemy soldiers beside them or in front of them, but were only attacking diagonally!
Out of the corner of his eye, the king noticed his queen move. What was she doing!? Queens were not meant for battle! They were meant for sitting pretty beside the king in ideal situations, he thought, a bit petulantly. The king watched, over the heads of his soldiers, as his queen moved around, battling more effectively than any of his other men. He suddenly wanted the queen once more beside him in order to protect him, but instead she edged closer to the
other king. "That's very suspicious behavior!" the king called out to her, but he could hardly be heard from his little corner of the kingdom. Rather abruptly he noticed a soldier getting a bit too close to him. "
Knight," he coughed. His soldiers appeared to not hear him, and the enemy knight moved even closer. "KNIGHT!" the king shouted, moving himself out of the knight's path.
It was around this time that he saw his queen take the enemy's queen. "Hooray!" he cheered, even though the enemy queen
had been quite pretty. A foot soldier that he had previously paid no regard to moved forward a step. and. turned into the previously defeated queen! "AHHHH!" shrieked the king. He didn't know they could do that! "That. What," said the panicking king, "what." The king registered some movement from a bishop but it didn't concern him, bishops were surely men of peace. But! Suddenly both bishop and the too close for comfort enemy queen were attacking him. Unfortunately, the king was so out of shape that by the time he took a single step, the queen could span the entire length of a kingdom. It made for a rather awkward and, as far as the king was concerned, frightening dance.
The king did not survive the affair. If this should upset the reader, one should note that his enemy king, who was actually a very nice and generous man, endured the battle, and indeed, he and his kingdom lived happily ever after.

grlnamedlucifer, to keep track of the classic Doctor Who episodes I've seen. I've watched more than what's crossed out, most of these are just ones I've watched recently (which is exactly why I'm doing this, I don't remember which ones I have actually seen. I have, for example, seen a few Fourth Doctor episodes...)
